Do not yank the upper case off quickly. The case is attached to the logic board via a ribbon cable.

Lift up at the rear of the case and work your fingers along the sides, freeing the case as you go. Once you have freed the sides, you may need to rock the case up and down to free the front of the upper case (there are some hidden plastic clips that need to be clicked off).

Hold the logic board down with one hand and use your other hand to lift the left fan up from its housing. There is a piece of black tape securing the fan to the heat sink. Carefully peel this tape up from the heat sink as you lift the fan up.

Place the fan above the Airport card. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the computer entirely.

I have a few very, very short Phillips screws (about 2.2 mm), but in the manual I do not find such a small size mentioned, so I do not know at which step to use them... not at every single step is the size of the screw/s mentioned.

I printed out the manuals. The colors used for emphasizing a step should be more different.

It is hard (for me) to see which circle is orange and which is red; same for the two blue colors.
